When we put it in perspective, think of everything currently running on servers in the world, the traditional ones: every bank, every transaction through Visa or ATMs, everything that the government does for you, every retail purchase, the entire coordination of the supply chains around the world, every piece of payroll, unified communication, social streaming services and gaming. They all run on servers.
Most businesses today rely on telecom far beyond simple calls or SMS. The future of the telecom industry is about powering digital communications, cloud services, IoT ecosystems, and enterprise connectivity. Imagine running an e-commerce store in 2025: AI chatbots handle customer service, sales reps close deals over video calls, and logistics teams track shipments in real time via IoT sensors. None of this works without global telecom innovations.
A well-known adage reminds us that corporate insiders and 10% owners really only buy shares of a company because they believe the stock price will rise and they want to profit from it. Thus, insider buying can be an encouraging signal for potential investors. This is all the more so during times of uncertainty in the markets, and even when markets are near all-time highs.
Charlie Kirk's mastery of social media was key to his rise as an influence in conservative politics. So the extent to which his death and its aftermath have played out on those forums shouldn't come as a surprise. In a microcosm of life today, social media is where Americans have gone to process last week's killing in Utah and is the chief tool his supporters are using to police those they feel aren't offering proper respect.
PagerDuty, the incident management platform used by thousands of organisations to alert them to problems on their systems, suffered a major outage itself on 28th August 2025. The incident disrupted or delayed the processing of incoming events to customers in PagerDuty's US service region. Significant service degradations affected PagerDuty for more than nine hours. At its peak, approximately 95% of events were rejected over a 38-minute period, and 18% of create requests generated errors for 130 minutes.
Many of you know that I have a creed in leadership, that we all have a finite time to leave our world better than we found it. And part of that recognition is knowing when the time has come for an organization to have fresh leadership, perspective, vision, and a longer runway to get the job done.
In our nine years of covering video platform Vimeo, we have seen it win legal appeals related to copyright issues around pre-1972 music uploads, and the installation of CEO Anjali Sud in 2017. Most recently in January, the company persevered in a copyright lawsuit with major music labels. Today we learn that Vimeo has agreed to an acquisition by European digital technology company Bending Spoons.
At its Made on YouTube event on Tuesday, the video giant announced several new features aimed at improving the livestreaming experience.

You might pick your hotel for its location or price, but one of the things I consider is whether its Wi-Fi is fast and reliable. I make my living working online. If I can't count on a speedy connection, I'm in trouble. So I was intrigued when I heard network performance specialist Ookla announce the launch of Speedtest Certified, a new connectivity verification program designed to help property owners and businesses prove the quality of their network infrastructure.
In the case of Google, the probe could stem from the DOJ's antitrust suit against Google over search. During the trial, it came out Google had a penchant for raising and lowering search rates as needed to meet quarterly benchmarks. In a bit of legal discovery , former Google ad leader Jerry Dischler offhandedly referred to the practice as "shaking the cushions." Now, the FTC is wondering how Google could turn those knobs up or down without advertisers realizing.
Swissto12 describes itself as currently one of the fastest-growing aerospace companies and a leading manufacturer of advanced satellite systems and radio frequency products, and in its latest move, the company says it has made a key step forward, reaching preliminary design review (PDR) in the development of the Neastar-1 geostationary satellite, which it is undertaking with Astrum Mobile, Asia Pacific's only satellite-to-device (S2D) company.
China has dealt Nvidia another blow, finding the chipmaker in violation of the country's anti-monopoly Law and escalating a long-running regulatory headache into a full investigation. China's State Administration for Market Regulation (SAMR) said on Monday that its preliminary investigation found Nvidia violated the country's competition rules, as well as the terms of a conditional approval it granted in 2020 for one of Nvidia's acquisitions.
"Actually, having his creative energies in various endeavours that are outside of Tesla actually helps Tesla. I know that sounds perverse, and people don't really understand that," Denholm said. "But having worked with him now for 11 years, it actually benefits Tesla with him doing things that are not in the mission of Tesla outside of Tesla, both from a resource perspective, but also from a motivation perspective."
[A]s we introduce all photonics networks and this end to end connectivity, extend it into the data center, we're reducing the latency such that it starts to feel much more like it's just another server and another rack in the same data center. We're literally approaching the speed of light in terms of how we transmit signals from end to end and the latency in, say, thousand of kilometers is still measured in a small number of milliseconds
Elon Musk's tunnel-digging firm The Boring Company's operations in Las Vegas were suspended after a worker sustained a "crushing injury." As local fire department and OSHA spokespeople told Fortune, authorities received a call about an "industrial/machinery incident" on Wednesday evening.

As AI coding tools like GitHub Copilot and Codex become more prominent, certain aspects of coding are being automated. For instance, Alphabet CEO Sundar Pichai said in the company's first quarter earnings call this year that over 30% of Google's code is AI-generated. Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella said in April that for some company projects, AI writes between 20% and 30% of the code, and it's increasingly using agents to review code, as well.
The chief architect behind Intel's Xeon line of server CPUs is leaving Chipzilla for greener pastures. Senior fellow and Xeon Chief Ronak Singhal's nearly 30-year tenure at the x86 giant will come to an end later this month, according to a CRN report, which The Register has independently confirmed. The Carnegie Mellon alum holds degrees in electrical and computer engineering, along with at least 30 patents involving CPUs. Singhal joined Intel in 1997 after spending the previous summer as an intern at Cyrix.
A new survey confirms what many IT pros already know: downtime doesn't exist, with dashboards and alerts intruding on their free time. More than half of the 616 IT professionals surveyed (52 percent) said they checked dashboards during nights, weekends, or vacations, with 59 percent saying past outages had left them more obsessive about making sure that everything is working. A third of IT pros said they felt compelled to check in at least once an hour.
Google Tables, a work-tracking tool and competitor to the popular spreadsheet-database hybrid Airtable, is shutting down. In an email sent to Tables users this week, Google said the app will not be supported after December 16, 2025, and advised that users export or migrate their data to either Google Sheets or AppSheet instead, depending on their needs. Launched in 2020, Tables focused on making project tracking more efficient with automation.

Big Red released financial results that analysts viewed as fairly normal for the first quarter of the 2026 fiscal year. Profits were flat at $2.93 billion for the quarter and its earnings per share were lower than the same quarter last year. But what's sent the stock price skyrocketing nearly 30 percent after normal trading hours on Tuesday is anticipated future earnings.
